The Babylon Game (Seven Fabulous Wonders)
2 journalers for this copy...
featuring the Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The year is 539 BC. In the ancient city of Babylon – known as the gateway of God – Tia, the adopted daughter of a perfume maker, is gathering herbs in the sacred Amytis garden. Surrounding the hanging garden is a double defence wall, protecting Babylon from invaders. But between the double wall, Tia makes a wonderful discovery – for adding to the city’s defence is a pack of ancient dragons known as sirrush.
Fearing for the dragons, who look lean and hungry, Tia leaves them food. But when one of the dragons touches her hand, Tia is granted magical powers of such strength, they have the capacity to save or destroy Babylon. For out in the plains, the Persian King, Cyrus the Great, is planning to capture Tia’s city. The hanging gardens may hold the key to Babylon’s salvation but only one person can access their magic...
Offered in the 2nd series swap and going to BountifulPots who stole it out of the game!
Before the swap, I'd read two of the books in the series: The Colossus Crisis and The Mausoleum Murder. And I am very happy that I was able to use the series swap as an excuse to buy four more of the books: The Amazon Temple Quest, The Great Pyramid Robbery, The Olympic Conspiracy, and this one.
Now that I've read six of the seven books in this series so far and I can honestly say that I've enjoyed each one of them. I love the use of history and myth. Each of Roberts' stories is unique and interesting. All in all, this is really a first class series.
